Abubakar Bukola Saraki FC will on Sunday host City rivals Kwara United in one of the opening fixtures of the 2013 Nigeria Professional Football League season, and United have said they have long been ready for the clash.

Coach Samson Unuanel, who took over at United from Tunde Sani at the end of last season, said his side have not had any special preparation for their closed rivals, as the team is prepared for all other clubs in the league.

Between two brothers

-There is no special preparation for ABS, he told futaa.com

- It is a match between two brothers, between two very closed teams.

The former Enyimba handler admitted it will be a derby of two sides who know each other very well.

- It is a local derby, and this kind of contest is always difficult to play.

Both sides played out a goalless draw in the first leg of their meetings last season, and United lost 1-0 to ABS in the reverse fixture.
